With 160mm of front travel, 150mm at the rear and progressive trail geometry, it's designed for riders who still want a bike they can pedal around the trails but prioritise control when things become steeper, faster and rougher.Its Occam Hydro aluminium frame uses an asymmetric design with 29in wheels and Concentric Boost 12x148mm rear spacing. The frame balances the straightforward durability of aluminium with modern trail geometry designed to provide stability at speed without making the bike unnecessarily cumbersome on everyday trails.Compared with the shorter-travel Occam SL, the LT gets an extra 20mm of fork travel and 10mm more rear travel. This gives the suspension additional capacity for bigger impacts and rougher terrain, positioning the LT towards riders who place greater emphasis on descending while retaining the versatility expected from a trail bike.Adjustable geometry lets you fine-tune the Occam LT's handling without replacing components. Orbea's flip-chip system allows the bike's setup to be altered to better suit the terrain or your riding preferences, giving you scope to adjust its character depending on the type of trails you're riding.A Fox 36 Float AWL HD Sport fork provides 160mm of front travel. Its 36mm chassis gives the front end plenty of support for accurate steering through rough sections, while the air spring can be adjusted to suit rider weight and preference. A 15x110mm Boost thru-axle provides a secure connection between the fork and front wheel.At the rear, a custom-tuned Fox Float Performance EVOL shock controls 150mm of travel. The air spring makes it straightforward to adjust spring pressure and sag to suit the rider, while its 2-position adjustment lets you change the shock's behaviour when moving between climbing and descending.Shimano Deore M6200 provides a simple and dependable 1x12-speed drivetrain. The 32T chainring is paired with a wide-range Shimano 10-51T cassette, providing low gearing for steep climbs while retaining enough range for faster trail sections.The Deore M6200 Shadow Plus rear derailleur uses a clutch mechanism to control chain movement over rough terrain. This helps reduce chain slap and keeps the drivetrain more secure when riding through rocky or root-covered sections. Shimano I-Spec EV integration also helps keep the handlebar controls neatly arranged.Shimano MT420 hydraulic disc brakes use four-piston calipers, giving the Occam LT H30 additional braking control to match its longer-travel suspension and descending-focused setup. The extra braking support is particularly useful for managing speed on sustained, steep or loose descents.The Occam LT rolls on 29in alloy wheels with a 29mm internal rim width. They're tubeless ready, allowing a compatible tubeless setup to run lower tyre pressures for additional grip and comfort while sealant can help deal with smaller punctures.Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5in tyres are fitted front and rear. Their aggressive tread uses large, well-supported cornering blocks and substantial braking edges, prioritising grip and control on loose and technical terrain. EXO casing protection adds resistance against cuts and abrasions, while the tyres are tubeless ready.The combination of 29in wheels and high-volume 2.5in tyres helps the bike maintain momentum across rough ground while providing plenty of traction. It's a setup that complements the longer suspension travel and more descending-focused character of the Occam LT.An 800mm-wide OC Mountain Control MC30 handlebar with 20mm rise provides plenty of leverage through technical terrain. It's paired with an OC Mountain Control MC21 stem to create a cockpit suited to the Occam LT's progressive trail geometry.The frame supports both internal and external cable routing, providing flexibility when setting up or maintaining the bike. Its linkage is also compatible with an OC multitool, allowing essential tools to be carried neatly on the bike for trail-side adjustments.Overall, the Occam LT H30 is the more aggressive option in the Occam family. The 160/150mm suspension, progressive geometry, four-piston Shimano brakes and grippy Maxxis tyres make it better suited to riders who regularly seek out rougher and steeper trails, while the wide-range Deore drivetrain keeps it practical for pedalling back to the top.
